Abstract

The use of self-assembled monolayers (SAM) as anti-adhesion coating was demonstrated to assist the removal of photoplastic microelectromechanical systems (MEMS). The SAMs reduces the stiction between the surface and a thin evaporated metal film. It also provids stability to support subsequent micromachining steps. The method allowed the fabrication of novel surface micromachined structures, including high-aspect ratio plastic devices and embedded bottom-side metal micro-and nanoscale electrode pattern.
